DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Definitions

The term “homology” refers to the optimal alignment of sequences (either nucleotides or amino acids), which may be conducted by computerized implementations of algorithms. “Homology”, with regard to polynucleotides, for example, may be determined by analysis with BLASTN version 2.0 using the default parameters. “Homology”, with respect to polypeptides (i.e., amino acids), may be determined using a program, such as BLASTP version 2.2.2 with the default parameters, which aligns the polypeptide or fragments (and can also align nucleotide fragments) being compared and determines the extent of amino acid identity or similarity between them. It will be appreciated that amino acid “homology” includes conservative substitutions, i.e. those that substitute a given amino acid in a polypeptide by another amino acid of similar characteristics. Typically seen as conservative substitutions are the following replacements: replacements of an aliphatic amino acid such as Ala, VaI, Leu and He with another aliphatic amino acid; replacement of a Ser with a Thr or vice versa; replacement of an acidic residue such as Asp or GIu with another acidic residue; replacement of a residue bearing an amide group, such as Asn or GIn, with another residue bearing an amide group; exchange of a basic residue such as Lys or Arg with another basic residue; and replacement of an aromatic residue such as Phe or Tyr with another aromatic residue. For example, homologs can have at least 99%, 98%, 97%, 96%, 95%, 94%, 93%, 92%, 91%, 90%, 89%, 88%, 87%, 86%, 85%, 84%, 83%, 82%, 81% or 80% overall amino acid or nucleotide identity to the gene or proteins of the invention; or can have 99%, 98%, 97%, 96%, 95%, 94%, 93%, 92%, 91%, 90%, 89%, 88%, 87%, 86%, 85%, 84%, 83%, 82%, 81% or 80% amino acid or nucleotide to the essential protein functional domains of the gene or proteins of the invention; or at least 99%, 98%, 97%, 96%, 95%, 94%, 93%, 92%, 91%, 90%, 89%, 88%, 87%, 86%, 85%, 84%, 83%, 82%, 81% or 80% overall amino acid or nucleotide to the essential binding amino acids within an essential functional domain of the gene or proteins of the invention.

The above descriptions and methods for sequence homology are intended to be exemplary and it is recognized that this concept is well-understood in the art. Further, it is appreciated that nucleic acid sequences may be varied and still provide a functional enzyme, and such variations are within the scope of the present invention. The term “enzyme homolog” can also mean a functional variant.

The term “Functional homolog” means a polypeptide that is determined to possess an enzymatic activity and specificity of an enzyme of interest but which has an amino acid sequence different from such enzyme of interest. A corresponding “homolog nucleic acid sequence” may be constructed that is determined to encode such an identified enzymatic functional variant.

The term “3-HP” means 3-hydroxypropionic acid.

The term “heterologous DNA,” “heterologous nucleic acid sequence,” and the like as used herein refers to a nucleic acid sequence wherein at least one of the following is true: (a) the sequence of nucleic acids is foreign to (i.e., not naturally found in) a given host microorganism; (b) the sequence may be naturally found in a given host microorganism, but in an unnatural (e.g., greater than expected) amount; or (c) the sequence of nucleic acids comprises two or more subsequences that are not found in the same relationship to each other in nature. For example, regarding instance (c), a heterologous nucleic acid sequence that is recombinantly produced will have two or more sequences from unrelated genes arranged to make a new functional nucleic acid. Embodiments of the present invention may result from introduction of an expression vector into a host microorganism, wherein the expression vector contains a nucleic acid sequence coding for an enzyme that is, or is not, normally found in a host microorganism. With reference to the host microorganism's genome prior to the introduction of the heterologous nucleic acid sequence, then, the nucleic acid sequence that codes for the enzyme is heterologous (whether or not the heterologous nucleic acid sequence is introduced into that genome). The term “heterologous” is intended to include the term “exogenous” as the latter term is generally used in the art as well as “endogenous”.

As used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to an “expression vector” includes a single expression vector as well as a plurality of expression vectors, either the same (e.g., the same operon) or different; reference to “microorganism” includes a single microorganism as well as a plurality of microorganisms; and the like.

I. Introduction

The present invention relates to various genetically modified microorganisms, methods for making the same, and use of the same in making industrial products. Any and all of the microorganisms herein may include a combination of genetic alterations as described herein. The present invention contemplates, for example, a genetically modified microorganism having one or more of the following genetic modifications (i) an alteration that affects the stoichiometric ratio, expression or production of one or more ACCase enzyme genes (ii) a recombinant ACCase gene having at least 80% sequence homology to an ACCase gene from a salt tolerant organism (iii) a genetic alteration in one or more non-ACCase genes (iv) one or more genetic alterations that encodes for one or more exporters capable of exporting 3-HP out of a cell (v) new hybrid molecules or co-expressed of a mono-functional malonyl-CoA reductase enzyme with various 3-HP dehydrogenase proteins that: (a) exhibit less inhibition by high 3-HP concentrations (b) that is less reversible or irreversible (c) enzymes that utilized NADH (d) enzymes that utilized flavin (vi) one or more genetic alterations that can be used to switch the carbon in the standard metabolic pathways of the cells to a pathway engineered to produce a chemical. More details about each of the above modifications and how the modification are used together to increase chemical production in a host cell is described below.

The present invention also relates to methods of fermentation. The genetically modified microorganisms are cultured under conditions that optimized a host cell for increase chemical production. The bio-production process may include two or more of the following phases of fermentation: (1) growth phase where the culture organism replicates itself and the carbon intermediate product is built up; (2) the induction phase, where the expression of key enzymes critical to the chemical production is induced and the enzymes accumulate within the organism to carry out the engineered pathway reactions required to further produce the chemical product (3) production phase is where the organism expresses proteins that provide for continuously production the desired chemical product. The above phases are further controlled by (1) addition and amount of the initiating reactant added to the reaction vessel (2) key enzymes engineered into the organism using promoters that are sensitive to (e.g., activated by) the depletion of the initiating reactant. Addition details about the fermentation process of the invention are disclosed below.

II. Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase

Malonyl-CoA Flux

One of the steps in the biosynthesis of 3-HP involves the reaction catalyzed by acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) enzyme. ACCase is a primary control point in the 3-HP pathway shown in FIG. 1 (previously described in) for the converting acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA and hence to malonate semialdehyde and 3-HP. The present invention contemplates the use of genetic modifications that increase activity of ACCase complex enzymes to thereby increase 3-HP production in a host cell.

Fused Subunits

The acetyl-CoA carboxylase complex (ACCase) is a multi-subunit protein. Prokaryotes and plants have multi-subunit ACCs composed of several polypeptides encoded by distinct genes. However, humans and most other eukaryotes, such as yeast, have evolved an ACC with CT and BC catalytic domains and biotin carboxyl carrier domains on a single polypeptide. The biotin carboxylase (BC) activity, biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP), and carboxyl transferase (CT) activity are each contained on a different subunit. In E. coli the ACCase complex is derived from multi polypeptide transcribed by distinct, separable protein components known as accA, accB, accC, and accD.

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase is a biotin-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the irreversible carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to produce malonyl-CoA through its two catalytic activities, biotin carboxylase (BC) and carboxyltransferase (CT). The first reaction is carried out by BC and involves the ATP-dependent carboxylation of biotin with bicarbonate. The carboxyl group is transferred from biotin to acetyl-CoA to form malonyl-CoA in the second reaction, which is catalyzed by CT. The main function of ACCase complex in the cell is to provide the malonyl-CoA substrate for the biosynthesis of fatty acids.

The conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA is an important step in the bioconversion of a renewable carbon source (such as, for example, sugar or natural gas) to a useful industrial chemical (such as, for example, 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP)). In certain organisms, such as E. coli or yeast, the native ACCase expression from the chromosome alone is insufficient to enable the organism to produce chemicals such as 3-HP at a rate to support a commercial scale operation. Overexpression of the ACCase complex has been shown to provide some advantage [U.S. Ser. No. 12/891,760 U.S. Ser. No. 12/891,790 U.S. Ser. No. 13/055,138].

Applicants have discovered that the introduction of an acetyl-CoA carboxylase gene with one or more of its subunits fused is beneifical to the production of a chemical product in a host cell. In certain aspects of the invention, fusion is the two gene products produced from a single polypeptide controlled by a single promoter, will further enhance an organism's bioproduction of an industrial chemical. In certain aspects of the invention, fusion is the two gene products produced by at least one promoter, will further enhance an organism's bioproduction of an industrial chemical. In certain aspects of the invention, fusion is the two gene products produced from a single polypeptide controlled by at least one inducible promoter, will further enhance an organism's bioproduction of an industrial chemical. Keeping components of the ACCase complex fused together in the genetic structure of an organism can be advantageous because it enhances the stability of the non-native ACCase genetic modification and it facilitates equimolar expression of the fused acc subunits.

In particular, the subunit-fused ACCase may be an accA-accB, accA-accC, accA-accD, accB-accC, accB-accD, accC-accD, accA-accB-accC, accA-accB-accD, accA-accC-accD, accB-accC-accD or accA-accB-accC-accD fused subunit that have having at least 80% sequence homology to E. coli accA, accB, accC and accD or is a functional homolog thereof. In addition, the organism may include any combination of these fused subunits, or any combination of these fused subunits together with one or more of the four non-fused subunits. When such combinations are used, the subunits (fused and non-fused) may be expressed on the same plasmid or on different plasmids or on the chromosome of the organism.

In accordance with a preferred embodiment, an accA-accD fused subunit is introduced into an organism either alone or in combination with the accB-accC fused subunit, the accB gene, and/or the accC gene. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the organism is a bacteria, and preferably E. coli or Cupriavidus necator.

Composition Stoichiometry

Composition stoichiometry is the quantitative relationships among elements that comprise a compound. A stoichiometric ratio of a reagent is the optimum amount or ratio where, assuming that the reaction proceeds to completion. Although stoichiometric terms are traditionally reserved for chemical compounds, theses theoretical consideration of stoichiometry are relevant when considering the optimal function of heterologous multi-subunit protein in a host cell.

In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the stoichiometric ratio of each of the four ACCase subunits relative to one another is important, and each such ratio can be between 0 and about 10, and preferably between about 0.5 to about 2 or about 7 to about 9. In accordance with a preferred embodiment the ratios for the protein subunits are accA:accB:accC:accD are 1:2:1:1. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, an organism is genetically modified to include an accA-accD fused subunit, an accB non-fused subunit, and an accC non-fused subunit, with the molar ratios of the accDA fusion:accB:accC being about 1:2:1, which is close to the optimum for enzymatic activity.

In certain embodiments where an organism is engineered to make 3-HP, in order to get optimal function in a host cell of a heterologous ACCase enzyme complex it is important to engineer the stoichiometry of these subunits in such a way that provides maximal production of 3-HP such that the subunit can make a more stable enzyme complex when overexpressed in the cell.

III. Conversion of Malonyl-CoA to Malonate Semialdehyde

One of the steps in the biosynthesis of 3-HP involves the conversion of malonyl-CoA (MCA) to malonate semialdehyde (MSA) and the conversion of malonate semialdehyde (MSA) to 3-HP (WO2011/038364). In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the present invention contemplates the use of novel enzymes and/or combinations of enzymes to catalyze the reaction in a microorganism from MCA to MSA, which results in enhanced cellular bioproduction of 3-HP in the host cell.

In certain aspects the invention provides novel enzyme compositions or co-expression of a combinations of enzyme compositions to catalyze the conversion of malonyl-CoA to 3-HP. A general overview of the enzymes and the relevant reaction pathways methods are shown in FIG. 1.

In accordance with this aspect of the invention, malonyl-CoA is converted to malonate semialdehyde by a malonyl-CoA reductase and malonate semialdehyde is converted to 3-HP through either or both of two alternative pathways.

In accordance with one aspect of the invention, malonyl-CoA is converted to malonate semialdehyde by a monofunctional malonyl-CoA reductase that catalyzes the malonyl-CoA conversion, but does not catalyze the malonate semialdehyde conversion.

In one embodiment, the microorganism herein comprise a genetic modification that include the monofunctional malonyl-CoA reductase may be derived from Sulfolobus tokodaii (stMCR) (SEQ ID NO. 15 nucleic acid, SEQ ID NO. 16 protein sequence) or a functional homolog of stMCR or a homolog with at least 80% identity.

In some embodiments, the microorganism herein comprise a genetic modification that include the bi-functional malonyl-CoA reductase comprised of two protein fragments with one fragment having malonyl-CoA reductase activity and the other fragment having malonate semialdehyde dehydrogenase activity may be derived from Chloroflexus aurantiacus (caMCR).

MCR-Dehydrogenase Enzymes for Conversion of 3-HP Ions

Following the conversion of the malonyl-CoA to malonate semialdehyde, the malonate semialdehyde is converted to 3-HP through either or both of two alternative pathways. Malonate semialdehyde may exist in at least three states; the keto form, the enol form, and hydrate form, as shown in FIG. 2. Malonate semialdehyde in the enol form, which will stabilize this form when compared to other aldehydes where the enol form is highly unfavored in the equilibrium among the three forms.

The malonate semialdehyde keto form is converted to 3-HP utilizing a 3-hydroxy acid dehydrogenase enzyme (ydfG SEQ ID NO. 21 nucleic acid, SEQ ID NO. 22 protein), a 3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase enzyme (Pseudomonas aeruginosa mmsB, SEQ ID No 23 nucleic acid, SEQ ID NO. 24 protein), and/or NAD+-dependent serine dehydrogenase (Pseudomonas NDSD, SEQ ID NO. 25 nucleic acid, SEQ ID NO. 26 protein). In accordance with a preferred embodiment, Pseudomonas mmsB, Pseudomonas NDSD, and E. coli ydfG are used. The gene, ydfG from E. coli is largely NADPH dependent, whereas mmsB and NDSD from Pseudomonas can utilize either NADPH or NADH.

The malonate semialdehyde enol form is converted to 3-HP utilizing an N-ethylmaleimide reductase (nemA, SEQ ID NO. 17 nucleic acid, SEQ ID NO. 18 protein), and/or a malonic semialdehyde reductase (rutE, SEQ ID NO. 19 nucleic acid, SEQ ID NO. 20 protein) from E. coli. These enzymes does not directly utilize NADPH or NADH. Instead, these enzymes utilize a flavin mononucleotide that is cycled between oxidized and reduced states by NADPH or NADH. The enol pathway also has advantages over the keto pathway in that equilibrium between the malonate semialdehyde enol form and 3-HP significantly favors 3-HP, making the reaction much less reversible, and essentially irreversible.

The malonate semialdehyde hydrated form may also be converted to 3-HP by either the 3-HP dehydrogenase or malonate semialdehyde reductase enzymes, although the hydrated form is more likely to be converted to the enol form as the equilibrium continuously readjusts.

IV. Salt-Tolerant Enzymes

The growth of engineered microorganism for enhanced production of a chemical product, such as E. coli is severely inhibited by high salt concentrations accumulated when the chemical product is produced at high rate within the organism.

Dose-dependent studies with increasing amounts of NaCl and Na-3-HP show that salt has inhibitory effects on ACCase activity which is essential to fatty acid biosynthesis of membranes required for growth and propagation and for the production of 3-HP (see EXAMPLE 1). Thus, the use of salt-tolerant enzymes in 3-HP production should increase 3-HP production in a host cell.

In some instances a halophilic organism is one that requires at least 0.05M, 0.1M, 0.2M, 0.3M or 0.4M concentrations of salt (NaCl) for growth. Halophiles live in hypersaline environments that are generally defined occurring to their salt concentration of their habitats.

Bicarbonate Importer

One of the key steps in the conversion of biomass to 3-HP is the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, which is illustrated in FIG. 3.

As shown in FIG. 3, this reaction is catalyzed by the acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and bicarbonate is a reactant needed to drive the reaction. One of the primary sources of bicarbonate to drive this reaction is carbon dioxide within the cell. Carbon dioxide is readily diffusible through a cell's membrane, and a natural equilibrium will be reached between the intracellular and extracellular carbon dioxide. As a cell produces carbon dioxide it migrates through the cell, and since it is not very soluble in the media, it will bubble out of the system and more intracellular carbon dioxide will migrate out of the cell to maintain the equilibrium. This process impedes the production of 3-HP since bicarbonate (which is in equilibrium with the dissolved carbon dioxide in the form of carbonic acid) is needed to drive the acetyl-CoA→malonyl-CoA reaction, and the intracellular carbon dioxide is the primary source for intracellular bicarbonate.

In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, an organism is provided that includes a heterologous gene encoded therein that acts as a carbon dioxide importer (i.e., it enhances the importation of carbon dioxide into the cell or inhibits the exportation of carbon dioxide from the cell), which results in increased intracellular carbon dioxide. Use of CO2 an importer mitigates against the natural outflow of carbon dioxide.

In accordance with this aspect of the invention, there is provided an organism that is genetically modified, wherein the genetic modification includes a polynucleotide encoding a gene capable of importing extracellular carbon dioxide from the media to within the cell membrane or inhibiting the exportation of intracellular carbon dioxide from within the cell membrane to the media. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a microorganism is genetically modified to encode one or more of the following heterologous genes: bicA from Synechococcus species, ychM gene product of E. coli, yidE gene product of E. coli, any of the bicarbonate transporters as described in [Felce and Saier, J. Mol. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 8: 169-176, 2004 or any amino acid sequences homologous thereof (e.g., at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% homologous to the amino acids sequences of the CO2 importer/exporters described herein].

When utilizing certain organisms to create certain products, it may be advantageous to control each phase discretely. For example, depending on the pathway involved, reactions, reactants, intermediates and byproducts created during cell growth can inhibit enzyme induction and/or the organism's ability to produce the desired chemical product. Similarly, reactions, reactants, intermediates and byproducts created as part of the production pathway can impact cell growth, and even the increased concentration of the chemical product as it is produced can impede cell replication.

VI. Multi-Phase Fermentation

In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of producing a chemical product from a carbon source through a bioproduction process that comprises a controlled multi-phase production process. The multi-phase production process includes an initiation and/or completion of one or more phases of the production process is controlled by genetic modifications to the organism producing the chemical product and/or is controlled by changes made to the cell environment.

In accordance with this aspect of the invention, the bioproduction process may include two or more of the following phases: (1) growth phase; (2) induction phase; and (3) production phase. During the growth phase, the organism replicates itself and the biocatalyst needed to produce the chemical product is built up. During the induction phase, expression of key enzymes critical to the production of the chemical is induced and the enzymes accumulate within the biocatalyst to carry out the reactions required to produce the product. During the production phase organism produces the desired chemical product.

The initiation and/or completion of the growth, induction and/or production phases are controlled. In accordance with the present invention, the growth phase is dependent on the presence of a critical external reactant that will initiate growth. The initiation and completion of the growth phase is controlled by the addition and amount of the initiating reactant added to the reaction vessel.

In accordance with certain preferred embodiments of the present invention, the chemical product is 3-HP and the production organism is E. coli or yeast. The critical external reactant may be phosphate, which is needed for replication of E. coli cells. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the growth phase is initiated by the addition of phosphate to a reaction vessel (together with a carbon source such as sugar and the E. coli cells), and the duration of the growth phase is controlled by the amount of phosphate added to the system.

The induction phase is controlled by genetic modifications to the producing organism. The key enzymes triggered during this phase are engineered into the organism using promoters that are sensitive to (e.g., activated by) the depletion of the initiating reactant. As a result, once the initiating reactant is depleted, the growth phase ends, the key enzymes are activated and the induction phase begins.

In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the induction phase is controlled by key genes that encode for enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway for the product into the production organism using promoters that are activated by phosphate depletion. In one embodiment where the chemical product is 3-HP and the production organism is E. coli, the key genetic modifications may include one or more of the following: mcr, mmsB, ydfG, rutE, nemA and NDSD; genes that encode individual or fused subunits of ACCase, such as accA, accB, accC, accD, accDA fusion, and accCB fusion, and the promoters may include one or more of the promoters that direct expression of the following E. coli genes: amn, tktB, xasA, yibD, ytfK, pstS, phoH, phnC, or other phosphate-regulated genes as described in [Baek and Lee, FEMS Microbiol Lett 264: 104-109, 2006]. In accordance with this embodiment, once the phosphate is depleted, expression of the key enzymes is activated by their promoters and the induction phase begins.

The production phase may also be controlled by genetic modifications. For example, the organism can be engineered to included mutated forms of enzymes critical to the initiation of production of the chemical product. These initiation enzymes may facilitate initiation of production either by: (1) becoming active and serving a key function in the production pathway; and/or (2) becoming inactive and thereby turning off a branch pathway or other competitive pathway that prevents or limits the production pathway leading to the chemical product. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, initiation enzymes are mutated to form temperature sensitive variants of the enzymes that are either activated by or deactivated at certain temperatures. As a result, the production phase is initiated by changing the changing the temperature within the reaction vessel.

In one embodiment, the production phase is controlled by genetically modifying the microorganism with a heterologous nucleotide sequence encoding i one or more of the following temperature sensitive enzymes: fabl^(ts) (SEQ ID NO. 27), fabB^(ts) (SEQ ID NO. 28) and fabD^(ts) (SEQ ID NO. 29). These enzymes are deactivated or shut-off at the desired temperature for production of the chemical product. These enzymes play a key role shuttling carbon atoms into the fatty acid synthesis pathway. Although fatty acid synthesis pathway is critical during the growth phase, it inhibits production of the chemical product. Once the reaction vessel temperature is changed, the temperature sensitive enzymes are deactivated and the fatty acid synthesis pathway shuts down thereby allowing the production pathway of the chemical product to ramp up.

In accordance with the present invention, the growth phase can last be between 10 to 40 hours, or about 15 to about 35 hours, or about 20 to about 30 hours. The induction phase may be for about 1 to about 6 hours, about 1 to about 5 hours, or about 2 to about 4 hours. The production phase may be greater than 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95 or 100 hours depending on the amount of chemical product that is desired.

In accordance with the present invention, the growth phase and induction phase are conducted at a temperature of about 25° C. to about 35° C., about 28° C. to about 32° C., or about 30° C. The production phase is conducted at a temperature of about 35° C. to about 45° C., about 35° C. to about 40° C., or about 36° C. to about 38° C. Preferably, the production phase temperature is higher than the induction phase temperature, and the increase in temperature that initiates the production phase occurs over a period of about 1 to about 5 hours, about 1 to about 3 hours, about 2 hours, or about 1 hour.

Downstream Consumer Products Chemicals

3-HP purified according to the methods provided in this disclosure may be converted to various other products having industrial uses including, but not limited to, acrylamide, acrylic acid, esters of acrylic acid, 1,3-propanediol, and other chemicals, collectively referred to as “downstream chemical products” or “downstream products.” In some instances the conversion is associated with the separation and/or purification steps. These downstream chemical products are useful for producing a variety of consumer products which are described in more detail below. The methods of the present invention include steps to produce downstream products of 3-HP.

As a C3 building block, 3-HP offers much potential in a variety of chemical conversions to commercially important intermediates, industrial end products, and consumer products. For example, 3-HP may be converted to acrylic acid, acrylates (e.g., acrylic acid salts and esters), 1,3-propanediol, malonic acid, ethyl-3-hydroxypropionate, ethyl ethoxy propionate, propiolactone, acrylamide, or acrylonitrile.

Additionally, 3-HP may be oligomerized or polymerized to form poly(3-hydroxypropionate) homopolymers, or co-polymerized with one or more other monomers to form various co-polymers. Because 3-HP has a single stereoisomer, polymerization of 3-HP is not complicated by the stereo-specificity of monomers during chain growth. This is in contrast to (S)-2-hydroxypropanoic acid (also known as lactic acid), which has two (D, L) stereoisomers that should be considered during its polymerizations.

As will be further described, 3-HP can be converted into derivatives starting (i) substantially as the protonated form of 3-hydroxypropionic acid; (ii) substantially as the deprotonated form, 3-hydroxypropionate; or (iii) as mixtures of the protonated and deprotonated forms. Generally, the fraction of 3-HP present as the acid versus the salt will depend on the pH, the presence of other ionic species in solution, temperature (which changes the equilibrium constant relating the acid and salt forms), and, to some extent, pressure. Many chemical conversions may be carried out from either of the 3-HP forms, and overall process economics will typically dictate the form of 3-HP for downstream conversion.

Acrylic acid obtained from 3-HP purified by the methods described in this disclosure may be further converted to various polymers. For example, the free-radical polymerization of acrylic acid takes place by polymerization methods known to the skilled worker and can be carried out, for example, in an emulsion or suspension in aqueous solution or another solvent. Initiators, such as but not limited to organic peroxides, are often added to aid in the polymerization. Among the classes of organic peroxides that may be used as initiators are diacyls, peroxydicarbonates, monoperoxycarbonates, peroxyketals, peroxyesters, dialkyls, and hydroperoxides. Another class of initiators is azo initiators, which may be used for acrylate polymerization as well as co-polymerization with other monomers. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,470,928; 5,510,307; 6,709,919; and 7,678,869 teach various approaches to polymerization using a number of initiators, including organic peroxides, azo compounds, and other chemical types, and are incorporated by reference for such teachings as applicable to the polymers described herein.

Accordingly, it is further possible for co-monomers, such as crosslinkers, to be present during the polymerization. The free-radical polymerization of the acrylic acid obtained from dehydration of 3-HP, as produced herein, in at least partly neutralized form and in the presence of crosslinkers is practiced in certain embodiments. This polymerization may result in hydrogels which can then be comminuted, ground and, where appropriate, surface-modified, by known techniques.

An important commercial use of polyacrylic acid is for superabsorbent polymers. This specification hereby incorporates by reference Modern Superabsorbent Polymer Technology, Buchholz and Graham (Editors), Wiley-VCH, 1997, in its entirety for its teachings regarding superabsorbent polymers components, manufacture, properties and uses. Superabsorbent polymers are primarily used as absorbents for water and aqueous solutions for diapers, adult incontinence products, feminine hygiene products, and similar consumer products. In such consumer products, superabsorbent materials can replace traditional absorbent materials such as cloth, cotton, paper wadding, and cellulose fiber. Superabsorbent polymers absorb, and retain under a slight mechanical pressure, up to 25 times or more their weight in liquid. The swollen gel holds the liquid in a solid, rubbery state and prevents the liquid from leaking Superabsorbent polymer particles can be surface-modified to produce a shell structure with the shell being more highly cross-linked than the rest of the particle. This technique improves the balance of absorption, absorption under load, and resistance to gel-blocking. It is recognized that superabsorbent polymers have uses in fields other than consumer products, including agriculture, horticulture, and medicine.

Superabsorbent polymers are prepared from acrylic acid (such as acrylic acid derived from 3-HP provided herein) and a crosslinker, by solution or suspension polymerization. Exemplary methods include those provided in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,145,906; 5,350,799; 5,342,899; 4,857,610; 4,985,518; 4,708, 997; 5,180,798; 4,666,983; 4,734,478; and 5,331,059, each incorporated by reference for their teachings relating to superabsorbent polymers.

Among consumer products, a diaper, a feminine hygiene product, and an adult incontinence product are made with superabsorbent polymer that itself is made substantially from acrylic acid converted from 3-HP made in accordance with the present invention.

Diapers and other personal hygiene products may be produced that incorporate superabsorbent polymers made from acrylic acid made from 3-HP which is produced and purified by the teachings of the present application. The following provides general guidance for making a diaper that incorporates such superabsorbent polymer. The superabsorbent polymer first is molded into an absorbent pad that may be vacuum formed, and in which other materials, such as a fibrous material (e.g., wood pulp) are added. The absorbent pad then is assembled with sheet(s) of fabric, generally a nonwoven fabric (e.g., made from one or more of nylon, polyester, polyethylene, and polypropylene plastics) to form diapers.

More particularly, in one non-limiting process, multiple pressurized nozzles, located above a conveyer belt, spray superabsorbent polymer particles (e.g., about 400 micron size or larger), fibrous material, and/or a combination of these onto the conveyer belt at designated spaces/intervals. The conveyor belt is perforated and under vacuum from below, so that the sprayed on materials are pulled toward the belt surface to form a flat pad. In various embodiments, fibrous material is applied first on the belt, followed by a mixture of fibrous material and the superabsorbent polymer particles, followed by fibrous material, so that the superabsorbent polymer is concentrated in the middle of the pad. A leveling roller may be used toward the end of the belt path to yield pads of uniform thickness. Each pad thereafter may be further processed, such as to cut it to a proper shape for the diaper, or the pad may be in the form of a long roll sufficient for multiple diapers. Thereafter, the pad is sandwiched between a top sheet and a bottom sheet of fabric (one generally being liquid pervious, the other liquid impervious), for example on a conveyor belt, and these are attached together, for example by gluing, heating or ultrasonic welding, and cut into diaper-sized units (if not previously so cut). Additional features may be provided, such as elastic components, strips of tape, etc., for fit and ease of wearing by a person.

The ratio of the fibrous material to polymer particles is known to affect performance characteristics. In some cases, this ratio is between 75:25 and 90:10 (see e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,685,915, incorporated by reference for its teachings of diaper manufacture). Other disposable absorbent articles may be constructed in a similar fashion, such as absorbent articles for adult incontinence, feminine hygiene (sanitary napkins), tampons, etc. (see, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,009,653; 5,558,656; and 5,827,255 incorporated by reference for their teachings of sanitary napkin manufacture).

Low molecular weight polyacrylic acid has uses for water treatment, and as a flocculant and thickener for various applications including cosmetics and pharmaceutical preparations. For these applications, the polymer may be uncrosslinked or lightly cross-linked, depending on the specific application. The molecular weights are typically from about 200 to about 1,000,000 g/mol. Preparation of these low molecular weight polyacrylic acid polymers is described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,904,685; 4,301,266; 2,798,053; and 5,093,472, each of which is incorporated by reference for its teachings relating to methods to produce these polymers.

Acrylic acid may be co-polymerized with one or more other monomers selected from acrylamide, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, N,N-dimethylacrylamide, N-isopropylacrylamide, methacrylic acid, and methacrylamide, to name a few. The relative reactivities of the monomers affect the microstructure and thus the physical properties of the polymer. Co-monomers may be derived from 3-HP, or otherwise provided, to produce co-polymers. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, Polyacrylamides and Poly(Acrylic Acids), WileyVCH Verlag GmbH, Wienham (2005), is incorporated by reference herein for its teachings of polymer and co-polymer processing.

Acrylic acid can in principle be copolymerized with almost any free-radically polymerizable monomers including styrene, butadiene, acrylonitrile, acrylic esters, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, vinyl chloride, acrylamide, itaconic acid, and so on. End-use applications typically dictate the co-polymer composition, which influences properties. Acrylic acid also may have a number of optional substitutions and, after such substitutions, may be used as a monomer for polymerization, or co-polymerization reactions. As a general rule, acrylic acid (or one of its co-polymerization monomers) may be substituted by any substituent that does not interfere with the polymerization process, such as alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, heteroaryl, benzyl, vinyl, allyl, hydroxy, epoxy, amide, ethers, esters, ketones, maleimides, succinimides, sulfoxides, glycidyl and silyl (see e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 7,678,869, incorporated by reference above, for further discussion). The following paragraphs provide a few non-limiting examples of copolymerization applications.

Paints that comprise polymers and copolymers of acrylic acid and its esters are in wide use as industrial and consumer products. Aspects of the technology for making such paints can be found in e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,687,885 and 3,891,591, incorporated by reference for their teachings of such paint manufacture. Generally, acrylic acid and its esters may form homopolymers or copolymers among themselves or with other monomers, such as amides, methacrylates, acrylonitrile, vinyl, styrene and butadiene. A desired mixture of homopolymers and/or copolymers, referred to in the paint industry as “vehicle” (or “binder”) are added to an aqueous solution and agitated sufficiently to form an aqueous dispersion that includes sub-micrometer sized polymer particles. The paint cures by coalescence of these vehicle particles as the water and any other solvent evaporate. Other additives to the aqueous dispersion may include pigment, filler (e.g., calcium carbonate, aluminum silicate), solvent (e.g., acetone, benzol, alcohols, etc., although these are not found in certain no VOC paints), thickener, and additional additives depending on the conditions, applications, intended surfaces, etc. In many paints, the weight percent of the vehicle portion may range from about nine to about 26 percent, but for other paints the weight percent may vary beyond this range.

Acrylic-based polymers are used for many coatings in addition to paints. For example, for paper coating latexes, acrylic acid is used from 0.1-5.0%, along with styrene and butadiene, to enhance binding to the paper and modify rheology, freeze-thaw stability and shear stability. In this context, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,875,101 and 3,872,037 are incorporated by reference for their teachings regarding such latexes. Acrylate-based polymers also are used in many inks, particularly UV curable printing inks For water treatment, acrylamide and/or hydroxy ethyl acrylate are commonly co-polymerized with acrylic acid to produce low molecular-weight linear polymers. In this context, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,431,547 and 4,029,577 are incorporated by reference for their teachings of such polymers. Co-polymers of acrylic acid with maleic acid or itaconic acid are also produced for water-treatment applications, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,135,677, incorporated by reference for that teaching. Sodium acrylate (the sodium salt of glacial acrylic acid) can be co-polymerized with acrylamide (which may be derived from acrylic acid via amidation chemistry) to make an anionic co-polymer that is used as a flocculant in water treatment.

For thickening agents, a variety of co-monomers can be used, such as those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,268,641 and 3,915,921, incorporated by reference for their description of these co-monomers. U.S. Pat. No. 5,135,677 describes a number of co-monomers that can be used with acrylic acid to produce water-soluble polymers, and is incorporated by reference for such description.

In some cases, conversion to downstream products may be made enzymatically. For example, 3-HP may be converted to 3-HP-CoA, which then may be converted into polymerized 3-HP with an enzyme having polyhydroxy acid synthase activity (EC 2.3.1.-). Also, 1,3-propanediol can be made using polypeptides having oxidoreductase activity or reductase activity (e.g., enzymes in the EC 1.1.1.- class of enzymes). Alternatively, when creating 1,3-propanediol from 3-HP, a combination of (1) a polypeptide having aldehyde dehydrogenase activity (e.g., an enzyme from the 1.1.1.34 class) and (2) a polypeptide having alcohol dehydrogenase activity (e.g., an enzyme from the 1.1.1.32 class) can be used. Polypeptides having lipase activity may be used to form esters. Enzymatic reactions such as these may be conducted in vitro, such as using cell-free extracts, or in vivo.

Thus, various embodiments described in this disclosure, such as methods of making a chemical, include conversion steps to any downstream products of microbially produced 3-HP, including but not limited to those chemicals described herein, in the incorporated references, and known in the art. For example, in some cases, 3-HP is produced and converted to polymerized-3-HP (poly-3-HP) or acrylic acid. In some cases, 3-HP or acrylic acid can be used to produce polyacrylic acid (polymerized acrylic acid, in various forms), methyl acrylate, acrylamide, acrylonitrile, propiolactone, ethyl 3-HP, malonic acid, 1,3-propanediol, ethyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, and acrylic acid or an acrylic acid ester to which an alkyl or aryl addition may be made, and/or to which halogens, aromatic amines or amides, and aromatic hydrocarbons may be added.

a) Reactions that form downstream compounds such as acrylates or acrylamides can be conducted in conjunction with use of suitable stabilizing agents or inhibiting agents reducing the likelihood of polymer formation. See, for example, U.S. Publication No. 2007/0219390, incorporated by reference in its entirety. Stabilizing agents and/or inhibiting agents include, but are not limited to, e.g., phenolic compounds (e.g., dimethoxyphenol (DMP) or alkylated phenolic compounds such as di-tert-butyl phenol), quinones (e.g., t-butyl hydroquinone or the monomethyl ether of hydroquinone (MEHQ)), and/or metallic copper or copper salts (e.g., copper sulfate, copper chloride, or copper acetate) Inhibitors and/or stabilizers can be used individually or in combinations as will be known by those of skill in the art.

In some cases, the one or more downstream compounds are recovered at a molar yield of up to about 100 percent, or a molar yield in the range from about 70 percent to about 90 percent, or a molar yield in the range from about 80 percent to about 100 percent, or a molar yield in the range from about 90 percent to about 100 percent. Such yields may be the result of single-pass (batch or continuous) or iterative separation and purification steps in a particular process.

The methods described in this disclosure can also be used to produce downstream compounds derived from 3-HP, such as but not limited to, polymerized-3-HP (poly-3-HP), acrylic acid, polyacrylic acid (polymerized acrylic acid, in various forms), copolymers of acrylic acid and acrylic esters, acrylamide, acrylonitrile, propiolactone, ethyl 3-HP, malonic acid, and 1,3-propanediol. Also, among esters that are formed are methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate. These and/or other acrylic acid and/or other acrylate esters may be combined, including with other compounds, to form various known acrylic acid-based polymers. Numerous approaches may be employed for such downstream conversions, generally falling into enzymatic, catalytic (chemical conversion process using a catalyst), thermal, and combinations thereof (including some wherein a desired pressure is applied to accelerate a reaction). For example, without being limiting, acrylic acid may be made from 3-HP via a dehydration reaction, methyl acrylate may be made from 3-HP via dehydration and esterification, the latter to add a methyl group (such as using methanol), acrylamide may be made from 3-HP via dehydration and amidation reactions, acrylonitrile may be made via a dehydration reaction and forming a nitrile moiety, propiolactone may be made from 3-HP via a ring-forming internal esterification reaction, ethyl-3-HP may be made from 3-HP via esterification with ethanol, malonic acid may be made from 3-HP via an oxidation reaction, and 1,3-propanediol may be made from 3-HP via a reduction reaction. Additionally, it is appreciated that various derivatives of the derivatives of 3-HP and acrylic acid may be made, such as the various known polymers of acrylic acid and its derivatives. Production of such polymers is considered within the scope of the present invention. Copolymers containing acrylic acid and/or esters have been widely used in the pharmaceutical formulation to achieve extended or sustained release of active ingredients, for example as coating material. Downstream compounds may also be converted to consumer products such as diapers, carpet, paint, and adhesives.

Another important product, acrylamide, has been used in a number of industrial applications. Acrylamide may be produced from 3-HP, for example, without being limiting, via an esterification-amidation-dehydration sequence. Refluxing an alcohol solution of 3-HP in the presence of an acid or Lewis acid catalyst described herein would lead to a 3-HP ester. Treatment of the 3-HP ester with either an ammonia gas or an ammonium ion could yield 3-HP amide. Finally, dehydration of the 3-HP amide with dehydration reagents described elsewhere in this disclosure could produce acrylamide. The steps mentioned herein may be rearranged to produce the same final product acrylamide. Polymerization of acrylamide can be achieved, for example, and without being limiting, by radical polymerization. Polyacrylamide polymers have been widely used as additives for treating municipal drinking water and waste water. In addition, they have found applications in gel electrophoresis, oil-drilling, papermaking, ore processing, and the manufacture of permanent press fabrics.

VIII. Expression Systems General Concepts

The following general concepts are applicable to embodiments of the invention described above.

Multicopy Plasmids

The researcher is faced with a myriad of genetic module options when designing a plasmid for expression of a heterologous protein in a host cell. How to optimize an expression plasmid system often depends on the downstream use of the expressed protein.

Different cloning vectors or plasmids are maintained at different copy numbers, dependent on the replicon of the plasmid. Most general cloning plasmids can carry a DNA insert up to around 15 kb in size.

Multicopy plasmids can be used for the expression of recombinant genes in Escherichia coli. Examples of include multicopy plasmids include high-copy, medium-copy and low-copy plasmids (see FIG. 8). The high copy number is generally desired for maximum gene expression. However, the metabolic burden effects can result from multiple plasmid copies could prove to be detrimental for maximum productivity in certain metabolic engineering applications by adding significant metabolic burden to the system.

The low-copy plasmids for example, pBR322 is based on the original ColE1 replicon and thus has a copy number of 15-20. The pACYC series of plasmids are based on the p15A replicon, which has a copy number of 18-22, whereas pSC101 has even a lower copy number around 5, and BACs are maintained at one copy per cell. Such low copy plasmids may be useful in metabolic engineering applications, particularly when one or more of the substrates used in the recombinant pathway are required for normal cellular metabolism and can be toxic to the cell at high levels.

However, the used of high-copy plasmids may be useful in enhanced cellular metabolism contexts. The mutant ColE1 replicon, as found in the pUC series of plasmids produces a copy number of 500-700 as a result of a point mutation within the RNAII regulatory molecule.

There are transcription and translation vectors. Transcription vectors are utilized when the DNA to be cloned has an ATG start codon and a prokaryotic ribosome-binding site. Translation vectors contain an efficient ribosome-binding site and, therefore, it is not necessary for the target DNA to contain one. This is particularly useful in cases where the initial portion of the gene may be cleaved in an effort to improve solubility. Another consideration when choosing a transcription or translation vector is the source of the DNA to be expressed. Prokaryotic genes usually have a ribosome-binding site that is compatible with the host E. coli translation machinery, whereas eukaryotic genes do not. Normal prokaryotic gene expression may be enhanced by use of an engineered promoter and ribosome-binding site.

Promoters

A promoter is a region of DNA that initiates transcription of a particular gene. In bacteria, transcription is initiated by the promoter being recognized by RNA polymerase and an associated sigma factor, which are often brought to the promoter site by an activator protein's binding to its own DNA binding site located by the promoter.

Promoter selection is an important factor when designing an expression plasmid system. A promoter is located upstream of the ribosome-binding site. Owing to the fact that many heterologous protein products are toxic to the cell, the promoter can be regulated so that the heterologous protein is expressed at the appropriate amount and time to reduced the burden on the cell host.

Historically, the most commonly used promoters have been the lactose (lac) and tryptophan (trp) promoters. These two promoters were combined to create the hybrid promoters tac and trc that are also commonly used. Other common promoters are the phage lambda promoters, the phage T7 promoter (T7), and the alkaline phosphatase promoter (phoA).

Promoters can be constitutive and inducible. Constitutive promoter is active in all circumstances in the cell, while regulated or inducible promoter become active in response to specific stimuli. In addition the strength of the promoter can also differ. A strong promoter has a high frequency of transcription and generates the heterologous protein as 10-30% of the total cellular protein production (for examples see FIG. 8). Chemically-inducible promoters that can be used in various aspects of the invention include but are not limited to promoters whose transcriptional activity is regulated by the presence or absence of alcohol, tetracycline, steroids, metal and other compounds. Physically-inducible promoters that can be used in various aspects of the invention include but are not limited to including promoters whose transcriptional activity is regulated by the presence or absence of light and low or high temperatures.

In order to be an inducible promoter, the promoter should be initially be completely repressed to transcription and then transcription induced with the addition of an inducer to allow expression at the time that expression is desired in the host cell. Alternatively, an inducible promoter may be responsive to the lack of a substance, such as inorganic phosphate, such that the absence of inorganic phosphate will allow expression at the time that expression is desired in the host cell (for examples see FIG. 8).

Ribosome Binding Sites

A Ribosome Binding Sites (RBS) is an RNA sequence upstream of the start codon that affects the rate at which a particular gene or open reading frame (ORF) is translated. One can tailor an RBS site to a particular gene. Ribosome Binding Sites (RBSs) are typically short sequences, often less than 20 base pairs. Various aspects of RBS design are known to affect the rate at which the gene is translated in the cell. The RBS module can influences the translation rate of a gene largely by two known mechanisms. First, the rate at which ribosomes are recruited to the mRNA and initiate translation is dependent on the sequence of the RBS. Secondly, the sequence of the RBS can also affect the stability of the mRNA in the cell, which in turn affects the number of proteins. Through the use of genetic expression modules the expression of desired genes, such as genes encoding enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway for 3-HP, can be tailored activity either at the transcriptional and translational level.

One can access the registry RBS collection as a starting point for designing an RBS <<http://partsregistry.org/Ribosome_Binding_Sites/Catalog>>. The Registry has collections of RBSs that are recommended for general protein expression in E. coli and other prokaryotic hosts. In addition, each family of RBSs has multiple members covering a range of translation initiation rates. There are also several consensus RBS sequence for E. coli have been described. However, it is important to keep in mind the known RBS functions and mechanisms in a larger context. For example, in certain contexts the RBS can interact with upstream sequences, such as sequence that comprise the promoter or an upstream ORF. In other contexts, the RBS may interact with downstream sequences, for example the ribosome enzyme binds jointly to the RBS and start codon at about the same time. These potential interactions should be considered in the overall RBS sequence design. The degree of secondary structure near the RBS can affect the translation initiation rate. This fact can be used to produce regulated translation initiation rates.

The Shine-Dalgarno portion of the RBS is critical to the strength of the RBS. The Shine-Dalgarno is found at the end of the 16s rRNA and is the portion that binds with the mRNA and includes the sequence 5′-ACCUCC-3′. RBSs will commonly include a portion of the Shine-Dalgarno sequence. One of the ribosomal proteins, 51, is known to bind to adenine bases upstream from the Shine-Dalgarno sequence. As a result, the RBS can be made stronger by adding more adenines in the sequence upstream of the RBS.

When considering the design of the spacing between the RBS and the start codon, it is important to think of the aligned spacing rather than just the absolute spacing. While the Shine-Dalgarno portion of the RBS is critical to the strength of the RBS, the sequence upstream of the Shine-Dalgarno sequence is also important. Note that the promoter may add some bases onto the start of the mRNA that may affect the strength of the RBS by affecting Si binding. Computer programs that design RBS sequence to match protein coding sequences, desired upstream sequences including regulatory mRNA sequences, and account of secondary structure are known [Salis, Mirsky, and Voight, Nature Biotechnology 27: 946-950, 2009] and were used to optimize RBSs for the ACCase subunit genes as described in (see EXAMPLE 3).

While preferred embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described herein, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that such embodiments are provided by way of example only. Numerous variations, changes, and substitutions will now occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the invention. It should be understood that various alternatives to the embodiments of the invention described herein may be employed in practicing the invention. It is intended that the following claims define the scope of the invention and that methods and structures within the scope of these claims and their equivalents be covered thereby.

EXAMPLES Example 1 Salt Inhibition Studies in E. coli

The activity of ACCase complex, a critical enzyme in the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, the immediate precursor for 3-HP, is severely inhibited by salt. Dose-dependent effects on ACCase activity was observed in the presence of NaCl, NH₄Cl, Na-3-HP, or NH₄-3-HP such that salt levels near 0.44M resulted in decreasing the activity of the ACCase enzyme by approximately 80%, while salts of 3-HP levels near 0.66M decreased the activity of the ACCase enzyme by approximately 80% relative to control (FIG. 4). Levels of greater than 0.66M (60 g/L) are expected to be present for commercially viable commercial production of 3-HP.

Example 2 ACCase from Halophilic Organism

Halophilic organisms, such as Halomonas elongata, are found in environments with high salt concentrations and, in general, have a salt internal concentration >2.5-3M. It is hypothesized that enzymes derived from any salt-tolerant species should be more resistant to enzyme inhibition by salts, such as 3-HP. Further, these enzymes that have greater salt tolerance should in turn have extended production under high salt conditions than enzymes with lower salt tolerance.

Accordingly, the genes encoding the accA, accB, accC, accD of H. elongata described in Table 1 were synthesized for expression in E. coli using codons optimized for this organism and supplied individually on pUC57 plasmids without promoters. Synthetic operons comprising the subunits were assembled using the Gibson assembly method.

TABLE 1 Accession numbers for genes encoding ACCase subunits from Halomonas elongata Gene Accession number SEQ ID NO. accA YP_003898857.1 SEQ ID NO. 1, 2 accB YP_003897250.1 SEQ ID NO. 3, 4 accC YP_003897249.1 SEQ ID NO. 5, 6 accD YP_003897309.1 SEQ ID NO. 7, 8 Each gene was amplified by PCRs with Pfu Ultra II HS using the manufacturer's instructions, and the PCR products were purified using the Zymo PCR Cleanup kit. Concentrations of products were measured using the Nanodrop spectophotometer. The Gibson Assembly kit (NEB) was used to construct plasmids expressing the ACCase subunit genes as directed by the manufacturer. The effect of NH₄-3-HP and NH₄Cl on H. elongata ACCase was tested and compared to the E. coli ACCase. As shown in FIG. 4, whereas the E. coli ACCase is significantly inhibited by the salts, the ACCase from the halophile is less affected by either NH₄-3-HP or by NH₄Cl. This result indicated that use of the H. elongata ACCase in 3-HP production strains would in beneficial in relieving 3-HP inhibition of the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, a critical step in the pathway.

Example 3 RBS-Optimized Genes

Enzyme expression is regulated at transcriptional and translational levels in prokaryotes. Ribosome Binding Sites (RBS) are 15 nucleotide segments which are known to control the level of protein expression in microorganisms. To enhance H. elongata ACCase expression various customized RBS were constructed and optimized for E. coli translation expression. Table 2 shows the RBS sequences used to increase expression of the individual subunits.

The expression performance of the RBS-optimized H. elongata ACCases was evaluated by 3-HP production in a 96-well format, each in triplicate wells, and the averaged results shown in Table 3. Specific 3HP production is shown as g/L per OD₆₀₀. As may be seen in Table 3, enhancing the efficiency of the RBS in strains B2, 35C, and 72 B clearly resulted in increased malonyl-CoA production leading to increased 3-HP production. It is evident from these results that combinations of enhanced RBS's before each of the individual genes accA, accB, accC, and accD may result in strains with even higher ACCase expression and activity.

Example 4 Coordinated Expression by Subunit Fusions

In nature ACCase subunit genes from prokaryotes such as E. coli and H. elongata have been shown to have a quaternary structure: accA₂:accD₂:accB₄:accC₂. However, the intrinsic levels of the ACCase subunit genes are too low for optimal production. Therefore, for optimal production it is ideal to have overexpression to be coordinated in a similar manner.

Expression of the genes encoding each ACCase subunit is regulated at transcriptional and translational levels. Coordinated overexpression of the ACCase subunit genes, accA, accB, accC, accD should give better ACCase activity. Examples of fusions of accC-B proteins exist in bacteria. It is hypothesized that coordinated overexpression may be achieved by fusion of subunit genes should ensures equimolar expression of the subunit genes at the optimal time.

The following ACCase subunit gene fusion were constructed and the constructs overexpressed in E. coli: (A) Control ABCD, (B) fusion of accC-B (SEQ ID NO. s 9, 10) subunit genes as seen in bacteria, (C) fusion of accD-A subunit genes using a flexible 15-amino acid linker (Linker sequence LSGGGGSGGGGSGGGGSGGGGSAAA; SEQ ID NO. s 11, 12) as depicted in FIG. 5.

The performance of the ACC fusions were tested for their ACCase activity and for various 3-HP production metrics in Table 4. ACCase activity was determined in cell lysates using an assay for malonyl-CoA production as described in [Kroeger, Zarzycki, and Fuchs, Analytical Biochem. 411:100-105, 2011]. Production of 3-HP was determined in cells co-transformed with a plasmid bearing the genes encoding the malonyl-CoA reductase from S. tokadaii and E. coli ydfG providing a 3-HP dehydrogenase to complete the metabolic pathway from malonyl-CoA to 3HP. These results show that the strain with the fused accDA genes had higher average specific productivity of 3-HP compared to the parental strain in which the overexpressed ACCase is not fused. FIG. 6 shows that the benefit of the accDA fusion were also manifested in 3-HP production in fermentors with environmental controls of nutrient feed, pH, aeration, and temperature.

Example 5 3-HP Exporter

Growth inhibition has been demonstrated for E. coli strains grown in the presence of 3-HP at levels as low as 20 g/L. To produce high titers of 3-HP the production host is required to balance production with overcoming inhibition. A known chemical exporter from E. coli that has been previously characterized for homoserine transport, rhtA, was evaluated for increased production of 3-HP. A mutant version of the exporter, rhtA(P2S) (SEQ ID NO. 30 nucleic acid, SEQ ID NO. 31 protein) was synthesized behind the PtpiA promoter and inserted into the pTRC-PyibD-MCR plasmid behind a terminator using the Gibson Assemply kit (NEB) according to manufacturer's instructions. The effects of overexpression of rhtA were evaluated in 1 L fermentation compared to the control plasmid without rhtA. As shown in FIG. 7, overexpression of rhtA resulted in a significant improvement in 3HP titer compared to the control production strain. Construction of plasmids expressing another putative transporter, ydcO (SEQ ID NO. 32 nucleic acid, SEQ ID NO. 33 protein) is carried out in the same manner.

Example 6 Bicarbonate Importer (Prophetic)

Increased import of bicarbonate to increase availability of bicarbonate for the ACCase reaction will increase production of malonyl-CoA and hence products derived metabolically from malonyl-CoA, such as 3-HP. The gene encoding the bicA bicarbonate transporter (SEQ ID NO. 13) of Synechococcus sp. was synthesized using codons optimized for expression in E. coli (SEQ ID NO. 14) and expressed using the E. coli tal promoter in a strain cotransformed with plasmids encoding ACCase and MCR functions. Production of 3-HP by this strain is compared to that achieved by a control strain without overexpressed bicA.
